Sent mine in.
Could be interesting because the backing track says it's in D but I was mainly playing it as if it were in A harmonic minor. Maybe it's one of those "Sweet Home Alabama" things. Or maybe I've gone tone deaf on this one, completely misheard it and done a bit of a Les Dawson

Sent mine in. Quite tricky that one, but fun to have a go at. I can only describe my attempt as a Melange of Guitary things

DulcetJones

Sent.  I attempt to play lap steel on my home made version.  I just started using a new(to me) tuning, D,B,D,G,B,D after years of fumbling around with an open E tuning.  Just updated the pick up to a generic humbucker.

Challenged myself to lower gain, more dynamics and a single string with just the D droning in places. Using Helix LT, Guthrie Charvel and Reaper to record

DefaultM

Please can someone tag me with an '@' so I remember to record this tomorrow?

DulcetJones

Is that   like   @DefaultM   ?  

DefaultM

Thanks. Bloody WiFi isn't working so I can't do it. Having to post using my phone.
I'm not too bothered about the competition aspect so if I miss the deadline that's fine, I can still just record for fun.

Just sent in my dodgy attempt at trying to make a guitar sound like a sitar!

Looked at this, looked at the date, ran upstairs and knocked one out.

I have just realised I did this on mobile.  The phone wifi was off.  Nothing can stop me, not even being pedestrian, clueless and wifi-less!

After a moving house hiatus, I really enjoyed the track this month and glad to be back in the game!
